Which term refers to the followers of Abu Bakr who said that the most capable Muslim should be the caliph? A. Abassids B. Sunnis C. Umayyads D. Shi'ahs



Answer :

Abu Bakr was one of the people that Muslims considered to be the successor of Muhammad, the other one was Ali.

The split over who should be the successor, Abu Bakr or Ali lies behind today´s Shiia- Sunni split, where the Sunni believe it was Abu Bakr and Shia that it was Ali.

So the correct answer is B. Sunnis

Answer:

Let me sum this up quickly for you. It's B, Sunnis.
